The Colombia national baseball team (Spanish: Selección de béisbol de Colombia) is the national baseball team of Colombia. The team represents Colombia in international competitions.
Colombia has won two international baseball championships, both during the Amateur World Series era (1938-86); the first in 1947, and the second in 1965. In the modern era, it has qualified for the World Baseball Classic twice, in 2017 and 2023, but has yet to make it out of the pool stage.
History
The Colombian national team first participated in the Amateur World Series ― which would become the Baseball World Cup ― in 1944, finishing sixth. It would go on to win the 1947 edition, which it hosted in Barranquilla.[citation needed] Colombia again hosted, and won, in 1965, though the Colombian government notably denied the defending-champion Cuban team entry into the country, due to tensions with Fidel Castro's government.[citation needed]
As a participant in the 2017 WBC, Colombia automatically qualified for the expanded 2023 World Baseball Classic. It was placed in a group with the United States, Canada, Mexico, and a fifth team to be determined by qualification.[3] On July 29, 2022, the team announced that Urueta would return to coach the national team for the WBC.[4]
